Turn real spaces into usable 3D context—fast. PointCloudViz lets you scan a room or site with LiDAR and instantly view the result as a clean, navigable point cloud on-device. It’s not trying to replace full CAD or surveying workflows. It’s built to help you capture reality quickly, share it, and make better decisions while you’re still on location. Requires a LiDAR-capable device: iPhone Pro or iPad Pro with a LiDAR Scanner. What you can do Capture a space with LiDAR and visualize it as a point cloud Walk around the scan, inspect details, and get a reliable “as-built” snapshot Save and share scans for coordination, planning, and documentation Use it as a lightweight bridge between “what’s there” and “what we’re building” Who it’s for (real-world use cases) Architects & interior designers: capture existing conditions before design, renovations, or site meetings—then reference geometry and constraints later. Construction teams & site supervisors: document progress, verify rough layouts, and record “before/after” conditions without hauling extra gear. Homeowners & renters planning changes: map a new apartment, plan furniture layouts, measure “will it fit” questions, and keep a digital record of the space. Facilities & property managers: quickly capture rooms, equipment areas, or layouts for maintenance planning and vendor coordination. Real estate & staging: keep a lightweight 3D reference of a property for planning and communication. Makers, builders, and DIY renovators: capture tricky corners, plumbing walls, or irregular spaces before committing to cuts and purchases. Change Measurement Unit Metric (1.5 m) Imperial (1 ft 9 in) Hardware requirement (important) To scan, you’ll need a device with a LiDAR Scanner: iPhone Pro models (with LiDAR) iPad Pro models (with LiDAR) If your device doesn’t have LiDAR hardware, the scanning features won’t work.
